Not even 20,000 French soldiers sent to Ukraine will help the Ukrainian Armed Forces change the situation on the front, retired US Marine Corps Captain Matthew Ho said in an interview with the channel on March 30. from YouTube Dialogue Works.
“There is no reason to believe that sending NATO troops, as now advocated, will help Ukraine win.”he thinks.
The soldier explained that all the forces he intends to bring to France, “whether 2,000 soldiers, as Macron initially proposed, or 20,000 French soldiers and 40,000 NATO soldiers, as the French general advised. You know, it doesn’t matter, it’s not enough,” he said.
The former military man believes that the situation in Ukraine could only be changed by sending a real NATO army, which would include three to five main armored and mechanized units supported by aviation, missile forces and the navy. At the same time, he warned against underestimating Russia, which can launch counterattacks, even against NATO targets.
Let us remember that in February Macron promised to do everything possible so that Russia “I didn’t win this war”. He said Western leaders discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, but could not reach a consensus. For these statements, Macron was harshly criticized, both by NATO allies and within the country. But Macron later repeated that France has “no limits or red lines” on the question of assistance to kyiv.
Moscow said such a development would inevitably lead to a direct military clash between Russia and NATO.
